COMMITTEE REPORTS:

Committee Reports-

1. Lane Certification: Everett reported that all houses have been certified. Two have been submitted and two will be. Fees are still needed to be paid. The lane dressings will be done in September. All the houses were good.

2. Budget & Finance Committee: Carsrud reported that the committee met and through much deliberation came up with categories for the budget. Everyone had a copy of the proposed budget, but there were obviously some corrections that needed to be made before we could finalize it and vote on it. It was felt that the Jamboree needed to be added and we had questions on the donation amount and where that came from and we felt that there was a typo in the dining expenses. (Reimbursement was also misspelled – for Teri only, delete from minutes). It was proposed to change the Policy Manual, effective for the 2008-2009 year to increase the Association Manager’s salary from the current salary of $1,500.00 to $2,000.00. This increase would help cover the increase in fuel prices. T. Carriere motioned and McCoy seconded. MCU

3. Bylaws & Policy Manual Committee: Robinson will schedule a meeting.

Green reported on the USBC convention. Much of the discussion there was centered on the RVP and bowling as a high school sport.

OLD BUSINESS:

The ground breaking for Perfect Games in Ames was held 8/14/08. Jerry Everett, Doug Wood, and Keith Hawkins attended. Perfect Lanes is scheduled to open April 2009.

NEW BUSINESS:

1. Iowa State USBC BA Jamboree – Spirit Lake: Entries and information was distributed to those interested. The bowling and the banquet will be held October 4 and 5 at Corner Lanes in Spirit Lake and the workshop will be held at Arrowwood Resort in Okobji.
2. 9-pin: There was a $.25 increase at 20^th Century (K. McPartland noted that it was for leagues, but they would be willing to take the extra money!), so it was proposed to increase the entry fee by $1.00, increasing the lineage and the prize fund by $.50 each, bringing the total fee for both events to $15.00.

The next meeting will be at 9:00 am on September 27 at 20^th Century Bowling.

Meeting was adjourned at 7:15 pm.

Respectfully submitted
Terri Loneman
2^nd Vice-President
